    That was egregious. Caused the entire side of the line to move early.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Alabama

    I really wish Brad would watch the Thunder or SGA. One of the big reasons they just won the Championship is cause they were CLINICAL from the free throw line. Yet Brad's teams consistently are AWFUL on the free throw line. Games like this show that Free Throws are the difference between close...

    It is beyond me how this team is getting this embarrassed on the boards. Straight-up out-efforted. Gotta be the first thing they practice tonight when they get back to Champaign.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

    Refs are letting Maryland play for sure. Quite quick to whistle us though. Some things will NEVER change.

    Well, Fran just just made himself have a massive impact on this game. You have to think if he doesn't have Luka Garza, his career has been only average. It should end like this though.

    The kid is worthless. Been saying it all season long... I'm glad other people are starting to realize it.

    Dude enough backing this crap. This team is not good and people need to accept it, don't make excuses for them. If he can't play to his best, then he shouldn't play, he's just taking up space out there right now. These kids are getting paid too much while getting a free education, stop giving...

    The obsession that some of y'all have with Benny Hum is ridiculous. I don't care how nice the guy is, he is on scholarship to play good basketball - which he IS NOT doing!!!!! He's averaging 8.7 points on 38% shooting with 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. There is LITERALLY nothing in that stat line...

    The gameplan is so bad. We're not good at shooting 3's, but we consistently shoot more 3's than our opponents. How does that make sense? Brad needs to fire his stupid son or Brad's gonna end up in the can.

    I mean, I think we were all expecting this coming into the game, no?

    This is so embarasing. Ben Hum deserves negative minutes. He owes me so much of my life back just cause he's made me watch his horrible attempt at playing basketball. KJ is not ready for the pro game, he looked good against the lesser opponents, but he's looked bad against actual competition...

    you're dumb to think this. We all know its gonna be Jake Davis for some reason. I completely agree with you, but Brad hasn't made many great decisions strategically this year.

    Rutgers 82, Illinois 73 Postgame

    I'm so tired of the narrative that "metrics have us as a top-15 team." Breaking News: We're not a top 15 team (right now). We can be, but we're not, and its as simple as that. Re-establish this teams identity and get ready for the toughest stretch of our schedule in late February and March...

    Rutgers 82, Illinois 73 Postgame

    This team needs to find itself. We have scraped the floor at this point. Struggling at home against Ohio State Sunday, then losing to a team that's .500 is awful. Not to mention losing at Nebraska when we should have won that game. Additionally getting run out of our own building by...

    Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

    Whereas other conferences have refs fairly call games and even give the better teams some calls to help inflate the good teams resume's ultimately giving them easier paths for the tourney in March.
